AN ORIGINAL CHARACTER, ORIGINAL PLOT X-MEN RPG

Since the existence of mutants was first revealed in the nineties, the world has become a changed place. Whether they're genetic misfits or the next stage in humanity's evolution, there's no denying their growing numbers, especially in hubs like New York City. The NYPD has a division devoted to mutant related crimes. Super-powered vigilantes help to maintain the peace. Those who style themselves as Homo Superior work to tear society apart for rebuilding in their own image.

MRO is an intermediate to advanced writing level original character, original plot X-Men RPG. We've been open and active since October of 2005. You can play as a mutant, human, or Adapted— one of the rare humans who nullify mutant powers by their very existence. Goodies, baddies, and neutrals are all welcome.

Magic and Mystics
After the events of the 2020 Harvest Moon and the following Winter Solstice, magic has started manifesting in the MROvere! With the efforts of the Welldrinker Cult, people are being converted into Mystics, a species of people genetically disposed to be great conduits for magical energy.

The Welldrinker Cult
A shadowy group is gaining power, drawing in people who are curious, vulnerable, or malicious, and turning them into Mystics. They are recruiting people into their ranks to spread the influence of magic in the world, but for what end goal?

Are They Coming for You?
There have been whispers on the streets lately of a boogeyman... mutant and humans, young and old, all have been targets of trafficking.

Adapteds
What if the human race began to adapt to the mutant threat? What if the human race changed ever so subtly... without the x-gene.

Atlanteans
The lost city of Atlantis has been found! Refugees from this undersea mutant dystopia have started to filter in to New York as citizens and businessfolk. You may make one as a player character of run into one on the street.

FUN FACTS

Thank you to everyone who shared your favorite MROments with us. It’s a walk down memory lane (quite a long walk for some) with great hopes for the future from our new kids. Some highlights include:

When Calley posted a Player Introduction thread and the site lost its collective mind when we found out she was actually a lady and had been leading us on with her fake boy-ness for months.

The first time Calcifer expressed grumping due to the teasing of the ship from the Firestorm thread

That one Halloween in Central Park when everyone turned into their costumes, and Jorge turned into Poseidon. The whole thing was tremendous fun, but the best part came from Jorge, who mentioned an NPC standing in the background in a peculiar costume: A t-shirt that said "MRO" and a ball of yarn, asking people "Do you wanna thread?" Classic.

Ghost and Cafas explaining Cafas' complicated history with a cat

April Fool's 2017: the great emoji flood. Really, any of the April Fools were fun. <3

Just in general, how the cbox gets excited when someone returns.

Age of Sebastian. It was my first major site event and I got to play my character coping with such a big world change.

Memory That I'm Looking Forward To: Neo buying me a pizza (As a Neo, I’m not sure if I object or not to this one.)

For next month’s Newsletter! The holiday season and Jorge’s solo got us thinking:
If your character was a dessert, what dessert would the be?!

FAN MADE

Sen has created a page for the MRO Coloring Book Pages and I highly suggest spending some time connecting with your inner child (or handing a page to your outer children) and show us your artistic talents!

Have I mentioned that Jorgemade two calendars? Because he totally did and you should check them out!

The X-Men The X-men run missions and work together with the NYPD, striving to maintain a peaceful balance between humans and mutants. When it comes to a fight, they won't back down from protecting those who need their help.	Haven Haven presents itself as a humanitarian organization for activists, leaders, and high society, yet mutants are the secret leaders working to protect and serve their kind. Behind the scenes they bring their goals into reality.	SUPER From the time when mutants became known to the world, SUPER was founded as a black-ops division of the CIA in an attempt to classify, observe, and learn more about this new and rising threat.	The Syndicate The Syndicate works to help bring mutantkind to the forefront of the world. They work from the shadows, a beacon of hope for mutants, but a bane to mankind. With their guiding hand, humanity will finally find extinction.
